I'm the sort of person who gets excited when what I do is helpful and receives some recognition, just like anyone else. Anyway, as of today my book is ranked 3,635th on amazon, 11th in the category of atheism books, and 12th in apologetical books. And it's not yet out! See capture below...

Yeah, I just ordered it yesterday, now that you mention it (among 8 other books on my most wanted list). Amazon says I can't get it until Feb. 28th, though. With all the hype, I am expecting this to be one of the best books around arguing why atheism. It better be good, John! Don't let me down.

Thanks! See what Eddie Tabash said about my self-published edition here. Consider also that David Mills predicts "it's going to be one of the top atheist books ever published."

As a self-published book my present one isn't in any stores, just on Amazon. Some people don't think much of self-published books since they are a dime a dozen. When Prometheus Books publishes a book they immediately send out 200-300 copies to the major media outlets around the globe for reviews. When this book is laid into their laps there will be a slew of recommendations on the back cover and on the inside pages which will make them sit up and take notice. And once they do read it I think they will see that it presents some powerful arguments, even if they disagree, which will lead them to write about it.

Anyway, this is all to be seen. I'm just hoping David is right.

The Prometheus Books edition is an extensive revision of my self-published book. When it hits the stores the other one will be discontinued.

I don't believe you'll get it much cheaper than right now. And it will give Prometheus some kind of idea how many to print for the first printing.

Keep in mind that the rankings at amazon fluctuate quite a bit from week to week.
